A Queen

At that time, it was during the reign of Emperor Guangjing, the first emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, and it was also the night before the Lantern Festival. The whole country was celebrating, and the monarchs and ministers were extravagant and lustful. They spent their lives and squandered the general treasury and squandered most of the Yuxia River in Kyoto. Many nobles were immersed in it. In the midst of enjoyment, it was also at this time that the neighboring Great Zhou Kingdom launched a war. The soldiers on the frontier resisted desperately and sent ten emergency orders back to Beijing overnight. However, it was the cowardice and hedonism of Emperor Guangjing that led to these ten All first aid orders failed.

That night, the 100,000 soldiers guarding the border city waited in endless despair. They guarded until the last moment. No less than a hundred people died of exhaustion, but they were still wiped out. Then the Zhou army rushed into the five guard cities on the border. , burned, killed, looted, and massacred five cities in one night. The sky was filled with mourning and corpses were everywhere.

Because the massacre itself was full of resentment, the five cities have now become famous ghost cities in Daxia. There are countless evil ghosts and they are very scary. One can imagine how resentful those who died in vain were at that time.

Dai Li looked at the words above, and his eyes fell on the end of the title in the lower right corner - Beijing is full of splendor.

Haha, isn’t it just deliberate irony!

Although Emperor Guangjing later received his retribution and died of a terminal illness in pain, almost the entire country hated him to the core, because up to now, the main border areas of the Great Xia Kingdom were still occupied by the Great Zhou Kingdom, which invaded every year, making the people miserable. To put it bluntly, the so-called splendor of the city is just a passing cloud.

Whether it was with some emotion or because he really liked the plum blossoms and the inscription on the fan, Daili still couldn't put it down and played with the fan, which made Xi Yuting and Shang Biejie look slightly strange. .

Shang Biele lowered his eyes slightly, stroking the round body of the cup with his slender fingertips, his voice was very soft, like dust and smoke.

"Do you like this fan?"

Daili nodded, "Well, to be precise, I like these..." Daili tapped the plum blossoms and fonts with his fingertips...

"But don't you think this plum blossom doesn't correspond to the word mentioned above? Painting plum blossoms without mentioning plum blossoms is the biggest failure. If so, why do you like it?" Shang Bibie's words seemed very ruthless and cold, but his tone was as light as ever. Yet misty.

Dai Li glanced at her, his eyes flickered slightly, and he thought for a moment: "I remember it was recorded in the history books that during the Linxiao season, the weather was dry and cold, and there was continuous snow. On that night, the winter plum blossoms in the city were in full bloom. The white plum blossoms are like snow, and the red plum blossoms are dotted with cinnabar. They are so beautiful that they are a wonder, and they have also attracted many powerful immortals to come and have a look."

Linxiao's winter plum blossoms, cinnabar, and snow, aren't they enough for the occasion?

When Xi Yuting heard this, her eyes widened and she grinned in surprise.

"Hey, it's true! Why didn't I notice it before..." As he said this, he was so eager to pat Dai Li on the shoulder, but he still restrained himself.

Shang Bieli looked at Daili briefly, "That's true... but is it just because of this?"

Um? Isn't this enough?

Dai Li raised his eyebrows, leaned on the back of the chair, crossed his legs, and said with a faint smile: "Actually, I admire this woman. It's hard for her to have such a concern for the country and the people, and there are very few women who can combine romance with romance. Love, love, and love are independent, and they are very individual... And this character is also particularly beautiful. It is an authentic Yanfeng style, seven points into the bones, and three points of self. The great calligrapher Yan Zong must have seen this character. Look sideways and appreciate it, let alone me."

This is the truth. The two of them, Shang Bieliang, could appreciate the sincerity in it. Their expressions softened a lot, but after Daili said the remaining words,

"To be honest, even if this woman is a man, I also think she is a man worthy of respect!"

As he said that, he had a sad look on his face...

Business separation: ""

Female, tomboy?

What is this name? But it doesn't sound like a compliment.

Xi Yuting looked at Shang Biejie and then at Daili, then she covered her mouth and laughed. She laughed until her face turned red, which was considered a capable guy.

Seeing the reaction of the two of them, Dai Li curled his lips and kept the smile in his eyes. Shang Biel caught it and glared at her in slight embarrassment.

Okay, this guy has noticed it a long time ago?

Daili looked at Shangbieli and said with a smile: "Well, even if he is a female man, he is still a peerless beauty like Miss Shang."

Forehead? It still sounds awkward!

"Hey!!! How do you know!" Xi Yuting jumped up from the chair and jumped in front of Dao Daili. Her big eyes were beautiful, waiting for Daili, and they were full of brilliance.

"If you hadn't opened it before, I wouldn't have recognized it as my sister's. How did you know it! My sister didn't even mention her name!"

Shang Bie thought about it for a moment. There seemed to be no difference between the two of them in terms of words. How did the other party...

After brushing the brush, Dai Li closed the fan and tapped it lightly on his forehead. He raised his eyebrows and smiled softly, like a romantic young man. His red lips uttered two words: "Intuition!"

""

This answer is both mysterious and unflattering. Anyway, Xiyuting is angry, and this guy is still trying to show off!

She just went over to have a fight with Dai Li, just to ask her to tell her the whole story, and Dai Li was also confused. People really relied on intuition. She couldn't say that her instinctive reaction was extremely sharp and could accurately capture them. The mood is ups and downs, and whose store is this? From Xi Yuting!

Some of the objects inside were either made by Xi Yuting herself or purchased by her. However, based on her observation of Xi Yuting, a girl, she had no interest in poetry and poetry at all, but the poems and paintings hanging in the store were not. There are few, and many of them are treasures. Judging from Daili's perspective, which he has cultivated with Ye Ranqiu since he was a child, most of these poems and paintings tend to be in one style. They were probably found by one person, and they emphasize elegance and beauty. Heroism is not a man's hobby.

But she hoped that among the people around Yuting, Daili would only know one person, Shang Biejie, and it was precisely Shang Biejie that was in line with her guess.

From the first time he saw her, Dai Li felt that there was no romance in this girl's mind, but another quiet and vast world.

Coupled with her cold and aloof nature, she actually took the initiative to ask Dai Li repeatedly about the fan.

But Daili didn't bother to explain because it was unnecessary.

They just didn't quite understand why a fan made by Shang Bielie was scattered in the corner like that, and even the two of them didn't know it.

When the two of them started arguing, Shang Bieli felt it was funny, but also felt a little at ease in his heart. He became more and more friendly to Dai Li. Judging from some previous observations, this Dai Li really understood her.

It's hard to find a close friend in life. She didn't force him in the past, and she's not willing to let him go now.

Just when the relationship between the three seemed to have taken a major step forward, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Shang Bie looked up and saw a simple girl wearing a blue and white cotton shirt walking in with a bamboo basket. She wore a blue flower scarf on her tied ponytail. She looked very simple and her face was flushed. Freckles.

When he saw Shang Farewell, his eyes were startled.

Hey, this sister is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the fairies those guests said.

Shang Bieli didn't wake her up. It wasn't until she was woken up by Xi Yuting's laughter that she saw Xi Yuting and, of course, Dai Li.

Hey, why are there boys?

"Are you the owner of Yuting? I, I am from Huayuan Restaurant, and I am here to deliver food to you." He carefully placed the bamboo basket on the stone table made of sapphire, not daring to look at the exquisite and clean high-pressure environment around it. , lowered his head, and unconsciously wiped the apron on his waist with his hands.

The aunt said that this customer cannot afford to offend her.

Xi Yuting didn't pay attention to anything else, but asked in surprise: "Hey, why did the person delivering food become you? Where was the previous one?"

"Something happened to him, so he asked me to bring it to you. Can you see if the food is still suitable?"

Although the girl was a little nervous and reserved, she still asked calmly.

Dai Li glanced at her but said nothing. It seemed that it was getting late and she had to go.

"Ah... that aunt used to tell me some interesting things that happened on your street recently... What a pity." Xi Yuting sighed with regret, but she also sighed for a moment, and lowered her head to open the basket. lid.

Suddenly, the aroma of vegetables came to my nose, it was so fragrant! Even Dai Li, who was about to leave, made the decision instantly.

Huayuan Restaurant?

The girl obviously regarded Xi Yuting as a god. She frowned slightly and said softly: "If the shop owner doesn't mind, I can tell you two interesting things that happened not long ago."

Fun fact! Really? !

Xiyuting became interested, "Then tell me quickly!"

The girl nodded, and then her sentences were coherent. She probably told what happened at Yuxia Bridge and Yuxia Tower without missing a beat. Kyoto is so big and prosperous, and there are countless lively things happening every day. These two things It's not too big, but it's more than the mystery of the origin of one of the parties, and he is young and handsome. He is accompanied by a beautiful woman who is as beautiful as a flower. Naturally, it has attracted countless people to pursue and talk deeply, which is very gossipy.

"Are you talking about the young man wearing red? And he was accompanied by four or five people, including the eldest son of the Xi family, Xi Qiushui, and a beautiful girl?"

Shang Bieli said with a slight smile, and turned his head to look at Daili with playful eyes. Daili smiled back, neither thick nor light, shrugged, stood up and said: "I have been out for a long time, and there are still other things. I’m busy... so I’ll leave first.”

Xi Yuting was surprised, "You are leaving~! So fast!"

quick? You wanted to kill me and kick me out before

Dai Li turned around with a smile but not a smile, "If you don't leave, you want to keep me for dinner?"

Well, even though she has a good impression of Dai Li and is happy to get along with her, Xi Yuting still rarely hesitated when she was asked such a straightforward question, and her mind was filled with a little bit of tofu.

"It's very immoral to let others watch you eat, especially with such delicious food." Dai Li tilted his head, stood up, turned around, glanced at the girl, and left without looking back.

Shang Bieli chuckled and said to himself: "Let's go slowly without seeing you off... Daili"

The girl looked at the two women and then at Dai Li's back, silent. rs! ~! ()
